Extract

By a complex function space A we will mean a uniformly closed linear space of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space X, such that A contains constants and separates the points of X. We denote by S the state-space

endowed with the w*-topology. If A is self-adjoint then it is well known (cf. [1]) that A is naturally isometrically isomorphic to , and re A is naturally isometrically isomorphic to A(S), where (respectively A(S)) denotes the Banach space of all complex-valued (respectively real-valued) continuous affine functions on S with the supremum norm.
